Abstract
Solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is a powerful method for the analysis of intermolecular interactions within a biomolecular system. However, low sensitivity is one of the major obstacles of NMR. We improved the sensitivity of solution-state 13C NMR for the observation of intermolecular interactions between protein and ligand using hyperpolarized solution samples at room temperature. Eutectic crystals composed of 13C-salicylic acid and benzoic acid doped with pentacene were hyperpolarized by dynamic nuclear polarization using photoexcited triplet electrons, and a 13C nuclear polarization of 0.72 ± 0.07% was achieved after dissolution. The binding of human serum albumin and 13C-salicylate was observed with several hundred times sensitivity enhancement under mild conditions. The established 13C NMR was applied for pharmaceutical NMR experiments by observation of the partial return of the 13C chemical shift of salicylate by competitive binding with other non-isotope-labeled drugs.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Obesity is a well-established risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidemia, leading to coronary artery disease (CAD). Nevertheless, body mass index (BMI) is inversely associated with cardiovascular (CV) mortality in patients with cardiac disorders, termed “obesity paradox”. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.
Purpose
To clarify important factors involved in the pathogenesis of obesity paradox.
Methods
Using data from a multicenter, prospective cohort of 2,418 patients with suspected or known CAD enrolled in the ANOX study, we assessed the relationship between BMI at baseline and the incidence of CV death over 3 years, and investigated the involvement of several endocrine factors which were previously reported to have some roles in obesity and heart diseases, such as adiponectin, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), in the relationship between BMI and CV death.
Results
In Kaplan-Meier analyses, the lower quartiles of BMI and the higher quartiles of adiponectin levels were paradoxically associated with the higher cumulative incidence of CV death. To clarify the important factors involved in the paradoxical association between BMI or adiponectin and mortality, we first investigated independent determinants for BMI and adiponectin levels respectively, using multiple stepwise regression analyses among many clinical factors, and then narrow down the prognostic factors commonly associated with BMI and adiponectin, which were age, hemoglobin and NT-proBNP. Interestingly, circulating levels of GDF15 were significantly correlated with NT-proBNP levels, and the presence of anemia raised the gradient of the correlation line in a scatter plot (without anemia, r=0.139, p<0.0001; with anemia, r=0.228, p<0.0001). Moreover, the highest GDF15 quartile showed significantly lower BMI and higher adiponectin levels compared to the lower quartiles (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively, by Student t-test). In Cox proportional hazard models, hazard ratios (HRs) of BMI (per 1-unit increase) were 0.90 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.85–0.96) for CV death. Additional adjustment for hemoglobin, NT-proBNP, adiponectin or GDF15 diminished the statistical significance (HR, 0.92 [95% CI, 0.87–0.99], 0.95 [0.89–1.01], 0.92 [0.87–0.99], or 0.93 [0.87–0.99], respectively).
Conclusions
The lower BMI and the higher adiponectin levels were paradoxically associated with the higher incidence of CV death in patients with CAD. This paradox may be mediated by cardiac endocrine factors induced by cardiac stresses, including GDF-15 in addition to natriuretic peptides.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke. Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonist, has been suggested as a marker of endothelial dysfunction, which are associated with both AF and coronary artery disease (CAD). Recently, we demonstrated that sFlt-1 is independently associated with major adverse cardiovascular (CV) events (MACE) in patients with suspected or known CAD. However, the prognostic utility of sFlt-1 in patients with AF remains unknown.
Methods
Using data from a multicenter, prospective cohort of 3255 patients with suspected or known CAD, we investigated whether AF modifies the prognostic utility of sFlt-1. Heparin-free serum levels of sFlt-1, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-I, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, cystatin C, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, VEGF, and placental growth factor were measured in 324 patients with AF and 2931 patients without AF. The primary outcome was MACE defined as a composite of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke. The secondary outcomes were all-cause death, CV death, stroke, heart failure (HF) hospitalization, and coronary/peripheral artery revascularization. The biomarkers were natural log-transformed for use as continuous variables.
Results
After adjustment for potential clinical confounders including anticoagulant drug use, sFlt-1 was significantly associated with MACE (hazard ratio for 1 standard deviation increase [HR], 1.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14–2.08), CV death (HR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.10–2.48), and stroke (HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.16–3.10), but not with all-cause death (HR, 1.32; 95% CI, 0.99–1.73), HF hospitalization (HR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.73–1.25), or revascularization (HR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.74–1.28) in patients with AF, whereas sFlt-1 was significantly associated with MACE (HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.02–1.37), all-cause death (HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.05–1.34), CV death (HR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.03–1.48), and HF hospitalization (HR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.11–1.42), but not with stroke (HR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.81–1.33) or revascularization (HR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.95–1.07) in patients without AF. Among other biomarkers, only VEGF was significantly associated with MACE (HR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.02–2.44), and no biomarkers were significantly associated with CV death or stroke in patients with AF. sFlt-1 added incremental prognostic information for MACE (P=0.005 for net reclassification improvement [NRI], P=0.026 for integrated discrimination improvement [IDI]) and stroke (P=0.034 for NRI, P=0.018 for IDI), but not for CV death (P=0.021 for NRI, P=0.134 for IDI), to the model with potential clinical confounders in patients with AF.
Conclusions
sFlt-1 independently predicted MACE and stroke in patients with AF and suspected or known CAD. sFlt-1 may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker to stratify the risk of MACE and stroke in patients with AF.

Abstract
Bone infection has received increasing attention in recent years as one of the main outstanding clinical problems in orthopaedic-trauma surgery that has not been successfully addressed. In fact, infection may develop across a spectrum of patient types regardless of the level of perioperative management, including antibiotic prophylaxis. Some of the main unknown factors that may be involved, and the main targets for future intervention, include more accurate and less invasive diagnostic options, more thorough and accurate debridement protocols, and more potent and targeted antimicrobials. The underlying biology dominates the clinical management of bone infections, with features such as biofilm formation, osteolysis and vascularisation being particularly influential. Based on the persistence of this problem, an improved understanding of the basic biology is deemed necessary to enable innovation in the field. Furthermore, from the clinical side, better evidence, documentation and outreach will be required to translate these innovations to the patient. This review presents the findings and progress of the AO Trauma Clinical Priority Program on the topic of bone infection.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonist, has been suggested as a marker of endothelial dysfunction. Circulating sFlt-1 levels are associated with adverse outcomes in patients with preeclampsia, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure. Atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary artery disease (CAD) are both associated with endothelial dysfunction. However, whether sFlt-1 can predict cardiovascular (CV) events and whether AF modifies the relationship between sFlt-1 and CV events in patients with suspected or known CAD are unknown.
Methods
We performed a nationwide, multicenter, prospective cohort study to determine the prognostic value of sFlt-1 and other biomarkers in patients with suspected or known CAD undergoing elective angiography. Heparin-free fasting serum was collected from the peripheral vein to determine levels of sFlt-1, VEGF, placental growth factor, cystatin C, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-I (hs-cTnI), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). The primary outcome was 3-point major adverse CV events (3P-MACE) defined as a composite of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke. The secondary outcomes were all-cause death, CV death, and 5P-MACE defined as a composite of 3P-MACE, heart failure hospitalization, and coronary/peripheral artery revascularization.
Results
3311 patients were consecutively enrolled between Nov 2013 and May 2017. After excluding 56 ineligible patients, 3255 patients (324 AF and 2931 non-AF) were followed up over 3 years (follow-up rate, 99%). During the follow-up, 156 patients developed 3P-MACE, 215 died from any cause, 82 died from cardiovascular disease, and 1361 developed 5P-MACE. The sFlt-1 level was significantly higher in AF compared to non-AF patients (p<0.001). Stepwise regression analysis revealed that the sFlt-1 level was independently associated with AF. After adjusting for potential clinical confounders, serum levels of sFlt-1, NT-proBNP, hs-cTnI and cystatin C, but not other biomarkers, were significantly associated with 3P-MACE in the entire cohort. These associations were still significant in non-AF patients, whereas only the sFlt-1 level was significantly associated with 3P-MACE in AF patients. Serum levels of sFlt-1, but not other biomarkers, were also significantly associated with CV death in AF patients. Among the biomarkers, only the hs-CRP level was significantly associated with all-cause death, and no biomarker was significantly associated with 5P-MACE in AF patients. Furthermore, sFlt-1 provided an incremental prognostic information for 3P-MACE to the model with potential clinical confounders in AF, but not in non-AF patients.
Conclusions
Serum levels of sFlt-1 were significantly associated with 3P-MACE in patients with suspected or known CAD. This association was pronounced in AF patients.

Abstract
Juzentaihoto is a herbal medicine with reported anti-inflammatory effects, and it is predicted to improve inflammation and insulin sensitivity within obesity. In the present study, juzentaihoto hot water extract (JTT) was administered to obese type 2 diabetic model mice (KKAy) for 56 days. In addition, the effects of JTT on the adipose tissue, glucose metabolism, and blood lipids were evaluated for examining its impact on insulin sensitivity and obesity. As a result of JTT administration, KKAy mice exhibited suppressed adipocyte hypertrophy, decreased the mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factor α, and increased the mRNA levels of adiponectin in epididymal fat tissue. In addition, fasting blood glucose levels, blood triglyceride, and total cholesterol decreased. In summary, these data indicated that JTT administration suppressed the production of inflammatory cytokines and increased adiponectin levels in the adipose tissue. Therefore, with improved insulin sensitivity, blood glucose, and lipid decreased.

Abstract
Heat stress disrupts reproductive function in cattle. In summer, high ambient temperature and humidity elevate core body temperature, which is considered to be detrimental to reproductive abilities in cattle. Neurokinin B (NKB) is a factor that generates pulsatile GnRH and subsequent LH secretion in mammals. Recent studies have reported that NKB-neurokinin 3 receptor (NK3R) signaling is associated with heat-defense responses in rodents. The present study aimed to clarify the role of NKB-NK3R signaling in thermoregulation in cattle. We examined the effects of an NK3R-selective agonist, senktide, on vaginal temperature as an indicator of core body temperature in winter and summer. In both seasons, continuous infusion of senktide for 4 h immediately decreased vaginal temperature, and the mean temperature change in the senktide-treated group was significantly lower than that of both vehicle- and GnRH-treated groups. Administration of GnRH induced LH elevation, but there was no significant difference in vaginal temperature change between GnRH- and vehicle-treated groups. Moreover, we investigated the effects of senktide on ovarian temperature. Senktide treatment seemed to suppress the increase in ovarian temperature from 2 h after the beginning of administration, although the difference between groups was not statistically significant. Taken together, these results suggest that senktide infusion caused a decline in the vaginal temperature of cattle, in both winter and summer seasons, and this effect was not due to the gonadotropin-releasing action of senktide. These findings provide new therapeutic options for senktide to support both heat-defense responses and GnRH/LH pulse generation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In the recent the Reduction of Cardiovascular Events with EPA-Intervention Trial (REDUCE-IT), statin therapy plus high-dose eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) significantly reduced the risk of cardiovascular death in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) with elevated triglyceride (TG) levels. An epidemiologic study has shown that increasing the intake of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially EPA and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are associated with a lower risk of fatal CAD. However, the anti-atherosclerotic effect of high-dose EPA/DHA has not be clarified.
We reported that coronary high-intensity plaques (HIPs) detected with non-contrast T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), which can be uniquely quantitative assessed using the plaque-to-myocardium signal intensity ratio (PMR) of ≥1.4, are significantly associated with future coronary events. Moreover, we demonstrated that intensive statin therapy reduces the PMR of coronary HIPs by 19% but is unlikely to completely resolve HIP (PMR<1.0).
In the AQUAMARINE EPA/DHA study, our goal was to assess the anti-atherogenic effect of EPA/DHA in an exploratory manner by examining the change in PMR of coronary HIPs after 12 months of EPA/DHA therapy in patients with CAD on statin therapy.
Methods
This study was designed as a single-center, triple-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled, open-label, superiority trial examining the effect of 12 months of additional EPA/DHA therapy on coronary HIPs in patients with CAD who receiving statin therapy. Eligible subjects are randomly assigned to the 2 g/day EPA/DHA group (n=26), the 4 g/day group (n=23), or the no EPA/DHA (statin-only) group (n=24) between May 2014 and December 2017. The PMR was defined as the signal intensity of the coronary plaque divided by that of nearby left ventricular myocardium. The primary endpoint is the change in PMR after EPA/DHA treatment.
Results
These 3 groups were well matched at baseline, with no statistically significant differences in age, male sex, conventional coronary risk factors, TG level, medications, and PMR. Figure 1 shows subgroup analysis of patients with high triglyceride levels (>150mg/dl). In the patient-based analysis (A), 12 months of EPA/DHA therapy significantly reduced the PMR of primary lesions. In the segment-based analysis (B), additional reduction of PMR was observed in the high-dose EPA/DHA group compared with the no EPA/DHA treatment group.
Discussion
The present study of patients with high triglyceride levels demonstrated that EPA/DHA had a dose-dependent anti-atherosclerotic effect. This finding may provide additional information of EPA/DHA for lowering the residual risk in patients with CAD on statin therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In secondary prevention of coronary artery disease, target value of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) <100 mg/dL is recommended as standard management in Japanese guideline. The guideline also stated that strict management of LDL-C targeting <70 mg/dL is considered in some high risk patients. However, in Japanese patients, effectiveness of more strict management of LDL-C lowering therapy for prevention of long-term cardiovascular events remains unclear.
Purpose
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether the strict management of LDL-C targeting <70 mg/dL was effective to prevent recurrence of long-term coronary events than standard management in patients with previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods
We investigated 344 patients with previous PCI who underwent late coronary angiography to examine recurrence of cardiac ischemia beyond the early phase of restenosis from January 2007 to August 2019. Patients were stratified into three groups according to achieved LDL-C value; LDL-C <70mg/dL (n=53), 70 to <100mg/dL (n=130) and ≥100mg/dL (n=161). Endpoints of this study were recurrence of cardiac ischemia presenting as acute coronary syndrome (recurrence-ACS) and any late coronary revascularization.
Results
During average 7.1 years follow-up, 200 patients (58%) underwent any late coronary revascularization. In 94 of those patients, recurrence-ACS was observed. The incidence of recurrence-ACS was significantly lower in patients with achieved LDL-C <70mg/dL than in those with LDL-C 70 to <100mg/dL and LDL-C ≥100mg/dL (p=0.009 and p=0.001, respectively), however, there was no difference between patients with LDL-C 70 to <100mg/dL and LDL-C ≥100mg/dL (p=0.140). Any late revascularization was significantly lower in patients with achieved LDL-C <70mg/dL and in those with LDL-C 70 to <100mg/dL than in those with LDL-C ≥100mg/dL (p=0.002 and p<0.001, respectively), however, no difference was found between patients with LDL-C <70mg/dL and LDL-C 70 to <100mg/dL (p=0.119). Moreover, in patients with achieved LDL-C <100mg/dL (n=183), multivariate analysis identified that LDL-C (HR 1.035, p=0.007) and HbA1c (HR 1.338, p=0.001) were independent predictors of recurrence-ACS. In contrast, only using statins (HR 0.461, p=0.009) was an independent predictor of recurrence-ACS in patients with achieved LDL-C ≥100mg/dL.
Conclusions
LDL-C was the important residual risk of recurrence-ACS even after recommended standard LDL-C lowering management had been achieved. More strict management of LDL-C targeting to <70mg/dL should be considered to prevent recurrence-ACS for wider range of Japanese patients in secondary prevention.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) is a stress-responsive cytokine that plays an important role in the regulation of the inflammatory response, growth and cell differentiation. An elevated GDF-15 was found in various conditions including cigarette smoking and stable coronary artery disease (CAD), and it was reported to predict mortality and cardiovascular (CV) events in general population and in patients with established CAD. However, the impact of smoking status on the relationships of GDF-15 with mortality and CV events in patients with suspected or known CAD is unclear.
Methods
Serum GDF-15 levels were measured in 2,418 patients with suspected or known CAD undergoing elective coronary angiography, enrolled in the development of novel biomarkers related to angiogenesis or oxidative stress to predict CV events (ANOX) study, and followed up for 3 years. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to the smoking status: current (n=428), past (n=1,035), and never smokers (n=955). The outcomes were total death, CV death, and major adverse CV events (MACE) defined as a composite of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke.
Results
During the follow-up, 48 current, 120 past, and 86 never smokers died from any cause, 17 current, 47 past, and 24 never smokers died from CV disease, and 35 current, 80 past, and 50 never smokers developed MACE. After adjustment for established risk factors, GDF-15 levels were significantly associated with total death (hazard ratio [HR] for 1-SD increase, 1.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03–1.65), but not with CV death (HR, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.69–1.62) or MACE (HR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.64–1.34) in current smokers; GDF-15 levels were significantly associated with total death (HR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.46–2.05) and CV death (HR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.09–1.85), but not with MACE (HR, 1.20; 95% CI, 0.96–1.48) in past smokers; GDF-15 levels were significantly associated with total death (HR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.32–1.95), CV death (HR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.22–2.46), and MACE (HR, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.27–2.07) in never smokers. Even after incorporation of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, contemporary sensitive cardiac troponin I, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein into a model with established risk factors, the addition of GDF-15 levels further improved the prediction of total death (P<0.001 for continuous net reclassification improvement [NRI], P=0.001 for integrated discrimination improvement [IDI]) and MACE (P<0.001 for NRI, P=0.045 for IDI), but not that of CV death, in never smokers, while it did not significantly improved the prediction of total death, CV death, or MACE either in current or in past smokers.
Conclusions
The GDF-15 level was independently associated with total death and MACE in never, but not in current or past smokers with suspected or known CAD. The relationships of GDF-15 with mortality and CV events seem to be attenuated by the presence of current and past smoking.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has recently been shown to improve the cardiac function and even mortality in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), few studies have examined the outcomes of AF catheter ablation in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Purpose
To verify the impact of AF catheter ablation on the cardiac function and HF status in patients with HFpEF.
Methods
We studied 306 patients with HF who had a history of an HF hospitalization and/or preprocedural serum BNP levels >100pg/ml (age, 68.9±8.2 years old; male, 66.3%; non-paroxysmal AF, 63.1%, left atrial diameter [LAD], 42.5±6.3 mm; left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], 60.6±12.0%) out of 596 consecutive patients who underwent pulmonary vein isolation-based catheter ablation of AF. The patients with an LVEF ≥50% were defined as having HFpEF (n=262; age, 69.0±8.2 years old; male, 64.5%; non-paroxysmal AF, 61.8%, LAD, 42.1±5.9 mm; left LVEF, 64.0±8.2%) and the remaining patients with an LVEF <50% were defined as having HFrEF (n=44, age, 67.9±8.7 years old; male, 77.0%; non-paroxysmal AF, 70.5%, LAD, 44.9±8.2 mm; LVEF, 40.1±10.2%). The patients received periodic follow-ups for 12 months after the catheter ablation. The cardiac function parameters including the echocardiographic findings and HF functional status of the patients were compared between baseline and 12 months, stratified by the HF subgroup.
Results
AF recurred in 60 patients with HFpEF (22.9%) and in 14 with HFrEF (31.8%) during the 12 month follow-up (p=0.27), however, sinus rhythm was maintained at 12 months in most of the patients (253 patients with HFpEF [96.6%] and 42 patients with HFrEF [95.5%]) (p=0.71). Figure 1 compares the changes in the cardiac function parameters and NYHA functional class from baseline to the 12-month follow-up stratified by the HF subgroup. Both the patients with HFpEF and HFrEF had significant improvements in the serum BNP levels, chest thorax ratio, and LVEF determined by echocardiography. LA reverse remodeling as shown by a significant reduction in the LAD was observed in both HF subgroups, however, the E/E', an index of the LV diastolic function, did not significantly change in either of the subgroups. Similar to the patients with HFrEF, an improvement in the NYHA functional class was seen in those with HFpEF.
Conclusions
Catheter ablation of AF may benefit patients with HFpEF as well as those with HFrEF. Sinus rhythm maintenance achieved by AF catheter ablation in patients with HFpEF may lead to LA reverse remodeling and a better LV systolic function, thereby improving the NYHA functional class. It is unclear whether changes in the LV diastolic function may contribute to this favorable process.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Chronic kidney disease is a growing public health problem. Renal dysfunction is known as a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease and end-stage renal failure. The presence of pan-diastolic flow reversal in the abdominal aorta is a very specific sign of severe aortic regurgitation (AR). A higher aortic reverse/forward flow ratio is associated with lower intrarenal forward flow. However, the influence of AR on renal function has been poorly understood. We hypothesized that the aortic flow reversal reduces the renal artery forward flow and accordingly leads to renal dysfunction in patients with severe AR.
Methods
The study consisted of 21 consecutive patients (mean age 69 ± 11 years) with severe AR who underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR). We compared echocardiographic indices and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) before and 603 ± 541 days after AVR.
Results
Blood pressure was 122 ± 16/54 ± 8 mmHg before AVR and 123 ± 16/76 ± 11 mmHg after AVR. After AVR, left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic dimension decreased from 57 ± 9 to 44 ± 5 mm and LV ejection fraction increased from 58 ± 12 to 60 ± 11 %. Estimated GFR significantly increased from 62.9 ± 18.9 to 71.8 ± 18.1 mL/min per 1.73 m2 after AVR (p = 0.003).
Conclusions An increase in aortic flow reversal caused by severe AR reduces forward flow into the kidney and thereby deteriorates renal function. This study demonstrated a key mediating role of central hemodynamic factors, particularly an exaggerated aortic flow reversal in renal dysfunction and severe AR.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In cardiac amyloidosis (CA), the left atrium (LA) is frequently infiltrated by the amyloid fibrils. It is currently known that LA strain is a marker of LA function and prognosis in many cardiac diseases, however its significance in CA remains unknown.
Purpose
Our aim was to investigate correlation between LA strain measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) and amyloid deposit in LA, and also evaluate the LA strain on the prognostic significance.
Methods and results
Of 74 consecutive patients with biopsy-proven CA, we analyzed 42 patients (age 72 ± 10 years; 76 % males) with contrast-enhanced CMR, and examined LA late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and CMR derived LA strain using feature tracking method. Of the 42 patients, 29 patients (69 %) was transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) in the majority. We divided these 42 patients into two groups according to the CMR measured peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) (> = or < median); high-strain (> = 6.67 %, n = 21) and low-strain (< 6.67 %, n = 21) and compared the patient’s characteristics, blood test data, echocardiography and CMR parameters. There were no significant differences between two groups in these parameters but in the extent of LA-LGE (54 % vs 80 %, p = 0.008). The PALS correlated with the extent of LA-LGE (ρ= 0.50, p = 0.001). In multivariate analysis including LVEF, E/e’ and BNP, LA-LGE was an independent determinant of PALS. During three-year follow up, the LA strain significantly related to heart failure hospitalization in the ATTR-CA patients (p = 0.036)(Figure).
Conclusions
In CA patients, CMR measured LA longitudinal strain correlates with the LA-LGE. It also provides useful information for poor prognosis of patients with ATTR-CA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In secondary prevention of coronary artery disease, target value of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) <100mg/dL with using statins is recommended as standard therapy in Japanese guideline. However, impact of residual risks after achievement of standard LDL-C lowering therapy was not fully examined. Furthermore, there is little information whether more strict management of LDL-C lowering is effective to prevent long-term cardiovascular events than standard management.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between residual risks after achievement of standard LDL-C lowering therapy and long-term coronary events in secondary prevention of Japanese patients.
Methods
From January 2007 to August 2018, 333 patients with previous percutaneous coronary intervention underwent late coronary angiography to examine recurrence of cardiac ischemia beyond the early phase of restenosis. We defined appropriate LDL-C lowering therapy as achieved LDL-C <100mg/dL with using statins. Patients whose achieved LDL-C was <100mg/dL with using statins were classified as Appropriate-group (n=139), and patients who were not using statins or whose achieved LDL-C was ≥100mg/dL were classified as Inappropriate-group (n=194). Endpoints of the study were recurrence of cardiac ischemia as acute coronary syndrome (recurrence-ACS) and any late coronary revascularization.
Results
During average 7.1 years follow-up, 195 patients (59%) underwent any late coronary revascularization. In 91 of those patients, clinical presentation of recurrence-ACS was observed. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis revealed that the incidence of recurrence-ACS and any late coronary revascularization were significantly lower in Appropriate-group than in Inappropriate-group (p=0.017 and p<0.001, respectively). In Appropriate-group, recurrence-ACS was significantly lower in patients with achieved LDL-C <70mg/dL than in those with LDL-C 70 to <100mg/dL (p=0.042), however, any late revascularization was not different between the two groups. On the other hand, in Inappropriate-group, recurrence-ACS was significantly lower in patients with using statins than in those without using statins (p=0.038), and any late revascularization was less frequent in patients with achieved LDL-C <100mg/dL than in those with LDL-C ≥100mg/dL (p=0.035). Moreover, multivariate analysis identified that only LDL-C was an independent predictor of recurrence-ACS in Appropriate-group (HR: 1.047, p=0.006), in contrast, LDL-C (HR: 1.008, p=0.020), using statins (HR: 0.555, p=0.034) and triglyceride (HR: 1.003, p=0.038) were independent predictors of recurrence-ACS in Inappropriate-group.
Conclusions
LDL-C was the most important residual risk of recurrence-ACS even after recommended standard therapy has been achieved. More strict management of LDL-C targeting to <70mg/dL should be considered in secondary prevention of Japanese patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Diabetes is a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), but further risk stratification in patients with diabetes is necessary to improve the prediction and prevention of cardiovascular events and deaths. Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) is a stress-responsive cytokine, which plays an important role in the regulation of the inflammatory response, growth and cell differentiation. Elevated GDF-15 was found in various diseases including diabetes and stable CHD, and was reported to predict mortality and cardiovascular events in general or established CHD population. However, the prognostic value of GDF-15 in suspected or known CHD patients with diabetes is unknown.
Methods
Serum GDF-15 levels were measured in 1,087 suspected or known CHD patients with diabetes undergoing elective coronary angiography, enrolled in the development of novel biomarkers related to angiogenesis or oxidative stress to predict cardiovascular events (ANOX) study, and followed up for 3 years. The primary outcome was all-cause death. The secondary outcomes were cardiovascular death, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke.
Results
During the follow-up, 147 patients died from any cause, 47 died from cardiovascular disease, and 94 developed MACE. After adjustment for established risk factors, GDF-15 levels were significantly associated with all-cause death (hazard ratio [HR] for 1-SD increase, 1.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.48–1.86), cardiovascular death (HR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.34–1.99), and MACE (HR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.20–1.65). Even after incorporation of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, contemporary sensitive cardiac troponin-I, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein into a model with established risk factors, the addition of GDF-15 levels further improved the prediction of all-cause death (continuous net reclassification improvement [NRI], 0.344; 95% CI, 0.172–0.517; P<0.001; integrated discrimination improvement [IDI], 0.049; 95% CI, 0.026–0.072; P<0.001), but not that of cardiovascular death (NRI, −0.013; 95% CI, −0.300–0.274; P=0.931; IDI, 0.023; 95% CI, 0.003–0.043; P=0.026) or MACE (NRI, 0.059; 95% CI, −0.151–0.268; P=0.583; IDI, 0.005; 95% CI, −0.004–0.015; P=0.244).
Conclusions
In suspected or known CHD patients with diabetes undergoing elective coronary angiography, elevated GDF-15 levels may predict all-cause mortality independent of established risk factors and cardiovascular biomarkers.

Abstract
Background
Diabetes is a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), but further risk stratification in patients with diabetes is necessary to improve the prediction and prevention of cardiovascular events and deaths. Vascular endothelial growth factor-D (VEGF-D) is a secreted glycoprotein that can act as lymphangiogenic and angiogenic growth factors through binding to its specific receptors, VEGFR-3 (Flt-4) and VEGFR-2 (KDR/Flk-1). VEGF-D signaling via VEGFR-3 plays an important role in lipoprotein metabolisms which may contribute to CHD. VEGF-D signaling has been used as a therapeutic target of human diseases such as lymphangioleiomyomatosis and refractory angina. Furthermore, in clinical settings, the VEGF-D level is already established as a diagnostic biomarker for lymphangioleiomyomatosis. However, the prognostic value of VEGF-D in suspected or known CHD patients with diabetes is unknown.

Even after incorporation of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, contemporary sensitive cardiac troponin-I, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein into a model with established risk factors, the addition of VEGF-D levels further improved the prediction of all-cause death (continuous net reclassification improvement [NRI], 0.258; 95% CI, 0.088–0.429; P=0.003; integrated discrimination improvement [IDI], 0.013; 95% CI, 0.002–0.024; P=0.022), but not that of cardiovascular death (NRI, 0.046; 95% CI, −0.245–0.336; P=0.759; IDI, 0.013; 95% CI, −0.005–0.031; P=0.146) or MACE (NRI, 0.064; 95% CI, −0.146–0.274; P=0.552; IDI, 0.001; 95% CI, −0.002–0.004; P=0.557).

Abstract
Background
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for the development and progression of coronary heart disease (CHD). Vascular endothelial growth factor-D (VEGF-D) is a secreted glycoprotein that can act as lymphangiogenic and angiogenic growth factors through binding to its specific receptors, VEGFR-3 (Flt-4) and VEGFR-2 (KDR/Flk-1). VEGF-D signaling via VEGFR-3 plays an important role in lipoprotein metabolisms which may contribute to CHD. VEGF-D signaling has been used as a therapeutic target of human diseases such as lymphangioleiomyomatosis and refractory angina. Furthermore, in clinical settings, the VEGF-D level is already established as a diagnostic biomarker for lymphangioleiomyomatosis. However, the prognostic value of VEGF-D in suspected or known CHD patients with CKD is unknown.
Methods
Serum VEGF-D levels were measured in 999 suspected or known CHD patients with CKD undergoing elective coronary angiography, enrolled in the development of novel biomarkers related to angiogenesis or oxidative stress to predict cardiovascular events (ANOX) study, and followed up for 3 years. The primary outcome was all-cause death. The secondary outcomes were cardiovascular death, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke.
Results
During the follow-up, 154 patients died from any cause, 61 died from cardiovascular disease, and 96 developed MACE. After adjustment for established risk factors, VEGF-D levels were significantly associated with all-cause death (hazard ratio [HR] for 1-SD increase, 1.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.27–1.56), cardiovascular death (HR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.28–1.71), and MACE (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.18–1.53). Even after incorporation of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, contemporary sensitive cardiac troponin-I, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein into a model with established risk factors, the addition of VEGF-D levels further improved the prediction of all-cause death (continuous net reclassification improvement [NRI], 0.272; 95% CI, 0.100–0.445; P=0.002; integrated discrimination improvement [IDI], 0.015; 95% CI, 0.003–0.027; P=0.013), but not that of cardiovascular death (NRI, 0.230; 95% CI, −0.029 to 0.488; P=0.082; IDI, 0.012; 95% CI, −0.007 to 0.031; P=0.207) or MACE (NRI, 0.102; 95% CI, −0.106 to 0.310; P=0.337; IDI, 0.005; 95% CI, −0.005 to 0.015; P=0.337).
Conclusions
In suspected or known CHD patients with CKD undergoing elective coronary angiography, elevated VEGF-D levels may predict all-cause mortality independent of established risk factors and cardiovascular biomarkers.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Lymphatic system has been considered to play an important role in cardiovascular disease. We recently reported that vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C), a central player in lymphangiogenesis, predicted all-cause mortality in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD). However, relationship between VEGF-C and atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unclear.
Methods
The ANOX study is a multicenter, prospective cohort study of 2,418 patients with suspected CAD, to determine the predictive value of possible novel biomarkers related to angiogenesis or oxidative stress for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among patients undergoing elective angiography. Blood samples were collected from the arterial catheter sheath at the beginning of coronary angiography. Serum levels of VEGF-C, as well as N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity troponin-I (cTnI), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), were measured. The outcome was a MACE defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke.
Results
Of a total of 2,418 patients, 261 patients had AF at baseline. AF group were older, and had more chronic kidney disease, history of heart failure, and history of stroke, but less diabetes, dyslipidemia, and CAD. The median level of NT-proBNP, cTnI, and hsCRP were higher in AF group [AF vs non-AF: NT-proBNP, 1048 pg/ml vs 162 pg/ml (p<0.0001); cTnI, 0.0003 ng/ml, vs 0.0 ng/ml (p<0.0001); hsCRP, 1.43 ug/ml vs 0.88 ug/ml (p=0.0005)], whereas median level of VEGF-C was lower in AF group [3107 pg/ml vs 3590 pg/ml (p<0.0001)]. AF was associated with lower VEGF-C and higher hsCRP after adjustment for potential confounders. During the 3-year follow-up, 29 (11.1%) patients in AF group and 136 (6.3%) patients in non-AF group developed MACE (p=0.007). Incidence of stroke was higher in AF group (17 (6.5%) vs 52 (2.4%); p<0.0009), despite that the incidence of cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction were similar between the groups. We divided the entire cohort into two groups based on the lowest quartile of VEGF-C or highest quartile of other biomarkers, lowest quartile of VEGF-C (log rank p=0.0004), as well as highest quartile of cTnI (log rank p=0.0009), were significantly associated with MACE in AF group. After adjustment for established risk factors and these biomarkers, both lowest quartile of VEGF-C (HR, 2.73; 95% CI, 1.27–6.06) and highest quartile of cTnI (HR, 2.54; 95% CI, 1.08–6.09) were significantly associated with MACE in AF group.
Conclusions
AF was associated with lower level of VEGF-C, and low VEGF-C as well as high cTnI might serve as an independent predictor of MACE in patients with AF and suspected or known CAD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) and atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently coexist and interact to initiate and perpetuate each other. Several retrospective or small cohort studies have suggested that successful catheter ablation of AF may help to waive device implantations in patients with paroxysmal AF plus SSS, however, no prospective large studies are so far available on this scenario.
Purpose
We aimed to elucidate the device implantation-free survival after catheter ablation of paroxysmal AF with coexisting SSS in a prospective large-scale registry. We also determined the risk factors for device implantations after catheter ablation of paroxysmal AF.
Methods
The Kansai Plus Atrial Fibrillation (KPAF) study is a multi-center prospective registry that enrolled 5,019 consecutive patients that underwent an initial pulmonary vein isolation-based radiofrequency catheter ablation of AF. This study was comprised of 3,226 patients with paroxysmal AF registered in the KPAF study (age, 64.8±10.5 years old; female, n=999 [31.0%]; left atrial diameter [LAD], 37.5±8.0 mm; left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], 65.3±8.4%, CHADS2 score, 1.09±1.05). The atrial tachyarrhythmia-free and device-free survivals after catheter ablation were compared between patients with SSS (n=368; tachy-brady syndrome, 88%) and without SSS (control; n=2,858).
Results
The atrial tachyarrhythmia-free survival was almost identical between the two groups both after the first ablation session (Fig.1A) and after the last procedure with an average of 1.3±0.5 sessions. At baseline, the devices had already been implanted in 53 (14.4%) SSS and 36 (1.3%) control patients. In the remaining patients, devices were newly implanted in 54 (17.1%) SSS and 62 (2.2%) control patients during the follow-up of 3 years after the catheter ablation (Figure 1B). In the SSS group, devices were implanted predominantly within 6 months after the catheter ablation, and atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence preceded the device implantation in 48 (89%) patients. Multivariate predictors of device implantations after the paroxysmal AF ablation included: SSS (hazard ratio [HR] 6.85, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.61–10.19, p<0.001), an age>75 years old (HR 1.69, 95% CI 1.08–2.64, p=0.019), a female gender (HR 2.16, 95% CI 1.44–3.24, p<0.001), the LAD (mm) (HR 1.05, 95% CI 1.02–1.08, p=0.006), and the LVEF (%) (95% CI 0.96, 95% CI 0.94–0.98, p<0.001).
Figure 1
Conclusions
Device implantations could be waived in >80% of patients with SSS at 3 years of follow-up after the catheter ablation of paroxysmal AF in this real world all comer prospective registry. In addition to coexisting SSS, predictors of device implantations after paroxysmal AF ablation included: the elderly, a female gender, a large LA, and a reduced LVEF.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is an autoinflammatory disease that is caused by heterozygous mutations in the TNFRSF1A gene. Although more than 150 TNFRSF1A mutations have been reported to be associated with TRAPS phenotypes only a few, such as p.Thr79Met (T79M) and cysteine mutations, have been functionally analyzed. We identified two TRAPS patients in one family harboring a novel p.Gly87Val (G87V) mutation in addition to a p.Thr90Ile (T90I) mutation in TNFRSF1A. In this study, we examined the functional features of this novel G87V mutation. In-vitro analyses using mutant TNF receptor 1 (TNF-R1)-over-expressing cells demonstrated that this mutation alters the expression and function of TNF-R1 similar to that with the previously identified pathogenic T79M mutation. Specifically, cell surface expression of the mutant TNF-R1 in transfected cells was inhibited with both G87V and T79M mutations, whereas the T90I mutation did not affect this. Moreover, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from TRAPS patients harboring the G87V and T90I mutations showed increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, the effect of various Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands on inflammatory responses was explored, revealing that PBMCs from TRAPS patients are hyper-responsive to TLR-2 and TLR-4 ligands and that interleukin (IL)-8 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) are likely to be involved in the pathogenesis of TRAPS. These findings suggest that the newly identified G87V mutation is one of the causative mutations of TRAPS. Our findings based on unique TRAPS-associated mutations provide novel insight for clearer understanding of inflammatory responses, which would be basic findings of developing a new therapeutic and prophylactic approach to TRAPS.

Abstract
Pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion is indispensable for reproduction in mammals. Kisspeptin neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), referred to as KNDy neurons because of the coexpression of neurokinin B and dynorphin A, are considered as components of the GnRH pulse generator that produces rhythmic GnRH secretion. The present study aimed to investigate if peripheral administration of PF-4455242, a κ-opioid receptor (KOR, a dynorphin A receptor) antagonist, facilitates pulsatile luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion and GnRH pulse generator activity in estrogen-treated ovariectomized Shiba goats to determine the possibility of using KOR antagonists to artificially control ovarian activities. PF-4455242 was intravenously infused for 4 h (1 or 10 μmol/kg body weight/4 h) or as a single subcutaneous injection (1 or 10 μmol/kg body weight). In a separate experiment, the same KOR antagonist (10 μmol/kg body weight/4 h) was intravenously infused during the recording of multiple unit activity (MUA) in the ARC that reflects the activity of the GnRH pulse generator to test the effects of KOR antagonist administration on GnRH pulse generator activity. Intravenous infusion and single subcutaneous injection of the KOR antagonist significantly increased the frequency of LH pulses compared with controls. Intravenous infusion of KOR antagonist also significantly increased the frequency of episodic bursts in the MUA. The present study demonstrates that peripherally administered KOR antagonist stimulates pulsatile LH secretion by acting on the GnRH pulse generator, and peripheral administration of PF-4455242 can be used to facilitate pulsatile LH secretion, which in turn facilitates ovarian activities in farm animals.

Abstract
Ulinastatin vaginal suppositories, used to prevent threatened premature delivery, are frequently used in hospitals. However, there is no established method for quantifying ulinastatin contained in suppositories. Therefore, we investigated a simple and efficient method for quantifying ulinastatin contained in suppositories. Our analytical method involved removal of the base; optimising the enzyme inhibition reaction time and enzyme reaction time; and measuring the absorbance. The modified method was reproducible, operation time was significantly shortened, and cost was reduced to approximately 1/17 of that of the previously reported method. This simple and rapid quantitative method could contribute to the improvement of quality control of ulinastatin vaginal suppositories as an extemporaneous hospital preparation.

Abstract
The probiotic Lactobacillus gasseri SBT2055 (LG2055) has a protective effect against metabolic syndrome in rats and humans. Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, Goto-Kakizaki rats were used as a diabetic model and fed diets containing LG2055-fermented or nonfermented skim milk for 4 wk. Indices of diabetes such as blood glucose levels, serum glucagon levels, plasma levels of insulin, C-peptide, and glucagon-like peptide-1, tissue glycogen contents, and pancreatic mRNA levels were measured. The plasma C-peptide levels and pancreatic mRNA levels of insulin genes (Ins1 and Ins2) and Pdx1 (a transcriptional factor of insulin genes) were increased in LG2055 diet-fed rats. The increase in insulin secretion corresponded to an improvement in serum and pancreatic inflammatory status, associated with decreases in serum levels of serum amyloid P and pancreatic levels of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. Insulin resistance in Goto-Kakizaki rats was ameliorated by increased glycogen storage in the liver and quadriceps femoris muscles and decreased serum free fatty acid levels. This improvement may be related to the increased cecal production of short-chain fatty acids. In conclusion, dietary LG2055 improved insulin secretion in diabetic rats by improving the inflammatory status in the pancreas and serum.

Abstract
The sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) is generally associated with greater postoperative stability than the intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO); however, it entails a risk of inferior alveolar nerve damage. In contrast, IVRO has the disadvantages of slow postoperative osseous healing and projection of the antegonial notch, but inferior alveolar nerve damage is believed to be less likely. The purposes of this study were to compare the osseous healing processes associated with SSRO and IVRO and to investigate changes in mandibular width after IVRO in 29 patients undergoing mandibular setback. On computed tomography images, osseous healing was similar in patients undergoing SSRO and IVRO at 1year after surgery. Projection of the antegonial notch occurred after IVRO, but returned to the preoperative state within 1year. The results of the study indicate that IVRO is equivalent to SSRO with regard to both bone healing and morphological recovery of the mandible.
